i turned 18 in december 2008. started shooting when i was 4, was going with my father since i was 2,got my first rifle when i was 5. ive been emersed in firearms culture practically my whole life and wouldnt want it any other way

Pops taught me how to shoot with a BB gun at 10, at 11 I was outshooting all my uncles and Killing rats and racoons like nobodies business!

I know some of the older people frown upon this but im pretty sure all the young generation agrees with me, I got really interested in Firearms from videogames, needless to say, when I purchased my own first firearm, I completely stopped playing video games, nothing like the real thing!

turning 18 in december. None of my family in CA are into guns so i've been researching on my own a lot. Saving up for a gun right now, possibly a shotgun for bird hunting and home defense since its just me and my mom in the household. lookin forward to chatting up and asking for info

Anyway, my family is pretty much non-gun, so It's just me. In scouts I dod the shotgun merit badge and shot 38/50 clay pidgeons that day, which I was told was very good since that was the first time I had ever fired a gun.

Then later when I was 16 my parents got me a standard Ruger 10/22 for christmas. I have bought a few air pistols since but am saving up for when I turn 21 for a nice Glock, screw the alcohol, you can bum that off anyone, and I don't drink, so it doesn't matter anyway.

i guess i never checked in here
im 18, liked the fact that i could have one once im 18, but that was when i was 16, so i waited a good 2 years til i finally got one, now i have more!
can't wait til im 21 to get a pistol though

I guess im young enough to post here. I turned 21 in March. Have been shooting for a long time. I own a couple of 22's, an AR, couple shotguns, couple hunting rifles, couple C&R's and a couple handguns through IFT's. My most prized rifle is my custom Surgeon .243 winchester rifle that I shoot in long range comps. I enjoy doing all of my own machine work and building my own rifles. In the past few years I have gotten involved in both pistol and rifle competition and have really enjoyed both sports. I have met some great people along the way.

I posted in the "New Members" section, but I figure I should post in here as well, seeing as I'm only 20.

I don't think there was actually a specific time I actually got interested in guns, as my dad had them since before I was thought of, and he made sure to teach me the ways of the responsible gun owner since I was able to talk.

I believe my first actual shooting experience was at about 4 years old, in the back yard with the .177 air rifle hitting soda cans. (actually I think they were mostly beer cans but I digress lol)

I don't technically "own" any guns yet, but the ones that are "mine" are a 20ga. pump, .22lr Marlin model 60, and in 3 more days, a .22lr Beretta Neos.

I think 28 is considered young? Pretty sure! i just started out (a few months back) and own a Ruger Sr9 and a Mossberg 500a. Next purchase will either be a .357 revolver or a .22 rifle or pistol... guns are addicting!

i just turned 21 this past january
and i've always been fascinated with guns since i was younger
my uncle is a hunter up in oregon
i dont remember when i got into guns but ever since i turned 21
i've been reading up and buying up what i can

pretty much born with a gun in my hand haha dad, granpa, great grandpa all were competition trap shooters and major hunters,moms got pics of me holding guns when i was 2. first rifle at 4 addicted ever since

if you looked at me you wouldnt think id be into guns.
buy as honest can be i got into guns all by my self, NONE of my family was ever into guns, in fact my mom disliked em and my dad passed away at a young age, so i didnt have any influence towards liking guns, but from now on my spawn (when ever they come) will be baby ramboes! ive spread my sickness to some of my friends but none of them are as serious as me, im pretty much all alone in this hobby : ( but i love it!!

I'm 25. I consider that young. My first gun was actually a rifle. Crossman $40 dollar pump BB/pellet rifle when I was 13 years old. I used to shoot at anything small and challenging I could find in my back yard. knock down lemons by shooting at them at the stem, shoot at flies, cigarette buds, marbles, the o in coca cola cans etc.. I currently have a springfield armory xd9 and a ruger 10/22. I just picked up the 9mm 2 days ago and have had the 10/22 for about 4 months. I'm waiting for my scope rings, bipod and soft case to arrive.

I'm 24 but since when was that young! graduated from college with a career now. 17 is young, haha anyways I just bought my first gun a 10/22 but now I'm hooked on an ebr ha. I didn't come from a family that was big on guns but I'm eager to continue this fight for our rights.

I am also 19. The day I turned 18 I learned what the California cool off period was with the purchase of my big 5 special - Mossberg 500.

I was originally pulled into the firearm realm through the Scouts. And I was pulled into the Scouts by my marine father. Thats where I learned what firearm safety really meant, as well as what being a true red blooded American meant

I am currently a member of the NRA and reaching towards my degree in political science and history in hopes that one day (which could be tomorrow if I were able to get connected to the right people) be able to protect the second amendment and our rights as free Americans.

In the last week I yet again entered the far fetched and oh-so-fun cool off period with my new DD's ranch Stag arms complete lower AR-15 assembly (still need to find an upper). And I hope that this is the second of many firearms that I will come to own.

I turned fifteen years old a couple of months ago, and I got into guns from a a friend of mine who goes hunting, and my science teacher.

Unfortunately, I don't own any firearms, mainly because whenever I've asked my mother about owning a .22 rifle, she's said that she doesn't think it's a good idea to have a gun in the same house as a teenager, despite the fact that I'm a member of a youth club that shoots every Friday. She's pro gun though, and says she might get a revolver for personal defense when I move out.
